Absolutely not! I tried the angel/ange search early on and somehow overlooked Ange ou Demon on the list otherwise it would have rang a loud bell, remembering the pic. Very good puzzle, and the pic does tell the story!

There are three kinds of people in this world: those who understand math and those who don't (four out of three people surveyed agree with this).

No one has it yet.

hint #2: The answer is in English
hint #3: The character shown is a cartoon version of one in a famous play (obvious I would think)
hint #3: One (rather abstruse) word of the answer could describe the mindset of the protagonist

Just curious: would you have guessed it without the picture of Max Ernst? I could not find that chess set in a google search without his name.

Riannon you happened to hit on a hobby of mine: chess. I have been playing since my pre-teens and have an extensive chess library. The set is a famous one to those who devour chess related items/news/arts. Once recognized as the famous work of Max Ernst: "Immortel", the puzzle fragrance name I considered a good match was not hard to located in the directory. So the answer is I didn't need the picture clue you so generously provided but anyone without my knowledge of that particular chess set most likely would have.

In other words, I got lucky!

Thanks hednic!

* and did you know that we have at least one chess International Grandmaster who is a Basenoter(from the USA)?--and it certainly isn't me. I'm a patzer...

I knew it was your hobby, we have been talking about it and it was the reason I put up this picture. But I became uncertain about the fame of the set when a serious lifelong Max Ernst admirer (one of our past players) did not know about it

It feels good to get lucky sometimes, no?

Oh yes, I do know one. And don't you ever say of yourself that you are a patzer. Never! Ever!
